South Dublin County Council is initiating a variation of the South Dublin County Council Development Plan 2016-2022 in accordance with Section 13 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) in the following manner;

Proposed Variation No. 3 – Zoning Amendment to Lands at Ballymount / Naas Road

It is proposed to amend the zoning objective of approximately 178 hectares of land from zoning objective EE (Enterprise and Employment) to objective REGEN (Regeneration).These lands are located in the Ballymount / Naas Road area, which are south of the Grand Canal and east of the M50, adjoining the boundary with Dublin City Council, all located within the areas of Fox and Geese, Bluebell, Ballymount, Redcow, Gallanstown and Drimnagh.

The reason for the Proposed Variation is to facilitate the regeneration of the brownfield lands at this location, which is in close proximity to existing and proposed transport nodes and would provide for a more intensive mix of enterprise and/or residential led development. The Proposed Variation supports the implementation of the National Planning Framework (NPF) 2018 and the Eastern and Midland Assembly (Draft) Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) 2018, in particular National Strategic Outcome (NSO) No. 1 of the NPF, which seeks to  achieve compact growth and consolidation of Ireland’s cities as a top priority.

This Proposed Variation includes changes to the zoning maps, as well as amendments to policy and addition of text in the Written Statement.
